Observations of protoplanetary disk structures
SM Andrews - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
The disks that orbit young stars are the essential conduits and reservoirs of material for star
and planet formation. Their structures, meaning the spatial variations of the disk physical …

Seven temperate terrestrial planets around the nearby ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1
One aim of modern astronomy is to detect temperate, Earth-like exoplanets that are well
suited for atmospheric characterization. Recently, three Earth-sized planets were detected …

Circumbinary accretion: From binary stars to massive binary black holes
We review recent works on the dynamics of circumbinary accretion, including time variability,
angular momentum transfer between the disk and the binary, and the secular evolution of …

Origins of hot Jupiters
RI Dawson, JA Johnson - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets to be discovered around main sequence stars and

Rapid growth of gas-giant cores by pebble accretion
The observed lifetimes of gaseous protoplanetary discs place strong constraints on gas and
ice giant formation in the core accretion scenario. The approximately 10-Earth-mass solid …

Rapid and bright stellar-mass binary black hole mergers in active galactic nuclei
Abstract The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) found direct
evidence for double black hole binaries emitting gravitational waves. Galactic nuclei are …

Shrinking binary and planetary orbits by Kozai cycles with tidal friction
D Fabrycky, S Tremaine - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
At least two arguments suggest that the orbits of a large fraction of binary stars and
extrasolar planets shrank by 1-2 orders of magnitude after formation:(1) the physical radius …
